I finally found the issue with my RSS Feed. There was an issue with one of the Wordpress Plug-ins so I had to deactivate it. No big deal. You can subscribe to the CT Foreclosure RSS Feed by clicking the link in the Sidebar under Subscribe to My Feed.

Here are this week's foreclosure stats for Connecticut's eight counties from The Warren Group:

                Lis
County        Pendens  Auctions   REOs
Fairfield       56       11         1
Hartford        70        2         5
Litchfield      14        1         1
Middlesex       14        0         1
New Haven       71        2         3
New London      27        1         0
Tolland         12        0         0
Windham         27        0         1
Totals:        291       18        12

Lis Pendens are down a bit this week and hopefully that is a sign of things to come…but I doubt it.

I just discovered that the RSS feed for this blog (CT Foreclosure) is not functioning. I may as well take this opportunity to completely upgrade this site and give it a much needed makeover. I apologize in advance if the site is unavailable for any period of time while I get this site straightened out and upgraded. I 'm going to try and have this all done by the end of the week.

Yes, it's Cinco de Mayo today. I hope everyone can take a little time to celebrate at least a little.

I hope that formatting comes out okay in the blog. As you can see, the numbers are generally down across the board with the exception of the number of Lis Pendends files in New Haven, which are up big from last week.

Law and Order this evening included a storyline with a supposed example of how someone could take advantage of a homeowner in foreclosure by tricking them into signing over ownership of their property.

He then had the homeowners sign a Quit Claim Deed which effectively gave all ownership of the property to the scammer. He stated it was just temporary to show the lender that the they were serious about resolving their foreclosure situation. He then went on to sell the property without the homeowners' knowledge. …Click to Read More on Foreclosure Scam on Law & Order
